In 2004, Kimberly & James Dean sat down at their kitchen table to collaborate on a children's book together. Their dream finally became a reality with the release of Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. Both left corporate jobs in the late nineties (James was an electrical engineer, Kimberly worked in the press office of the governor of Georgia) to pursue their passion for art, and they have experienced a life made up of strange and wonderful coincidences ever since. Pete the Cat has brought magic into their lives.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025kid loves Pete the cat. good color and good story telling
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023Step right up, brave souls and feline enthusiasts! Allow me to recount the spooktacular tale of "Pete the Cat: Trick or Pete" – a Halloween adventure that's more hilarious than a ghost trying to tell a joke!
Picture this: Pete the Cat, with his cool shades and nonchalant attitude, navigating the spooky season like a feline boss. It's like he's on a mission to show that Halloween can be hip, and trick-or-treating is just another stroll in his ultra-cool kitty world.
Now, onto the tricks – oh, the tricks! Pete is not just a cat; he's a master of Halloween shenanigans. His bag of tricks is like Mary Poppins' bottomless carpet bag but filled with endless gags and hilarity. You think you've seen it all, and then Pete pulls out another pun that's so groan-worthy it's genius. It's like a stand-up comedy show, but with whiskers and a tail stealing the spotlight.
But here's where the real magic happens – the illustrations. James Dean has woven a visual masterpiece that's both spooky and sidesplitting. Pete's expressions as he encounters Halloween surprises are priceless – from a nonchalant "I got this" to a wide-eyed "What in the catnip is happening?" It's like the illustrations are in on the joke, conspiring with Pete to turn the pages into a laugh-out-loud haunted house.
Now, for the skeptics who might question the necessity of a Halloween-themed Pete the Cat book, let me assure you – "Trick or Pete" is not just a book; it's a pumpkin-spiced delight, a treat for both the young and the young at heart. It's Pete reminding us that even in the spookiest of times, you can still keep it cool and have a blast.
In conclusion, "Pete the Cat: Trick or Pete" is not just a Halloween book; it's a comedic masterpiece, a pumpkin-flavored triumph, and a reminder that even ghosts can't resist a good chuckle. So, gather 'round, unleash your inner cool cat, and let Pete be your guide through the haunted hilarity of Halloween!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2024Got this book a few weeks before preschool started to get the little one used to idea of going to school. Reading it almost every night did the trick! The graphics, story line, words, and length of the book are all perfect for preschool and kindergarten ages. Perfect purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023My son loves this book. The story is super cute and it's one of the books we will be reading all Halloween season to get him excited for trick or treating. It is paper back but you can't beat the price. There are flaps on almost each page which helps keep my son interested. Sometimes it's hard to keep his attention for the duration of the book. I'd recommend buying!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2024I bought these for my granddaughter. She is 3yrs old and enjoyed them.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024I bought this for my 2 yr old for Halloween. She loves Pete books and this one was no exception! The pages are thick and easy to turn, with bright colors & great illustrations. My only complaint is that the flaps are made of super thin paper and not attached to the page securely…. It won’t be long before they get accidentally ripped off. Other than that - love!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2024Used in schools. Granddaughter doesn’t like it for this reason!
